Could a problem with polling that includes home phones be that women tend to answer the home phone more often?

With so many women now working full time that's a difficult claim to support. But landline telephone polling is certainly skewed by the fact that they willet more retired, disabled, and jobless people answering, simply because they will be at home more often.

No

I think the problem with polling that includes home phones is that the only people that still have home phones are geriatric, so it doesn't provide a random sample that is representative of the population but rather of only one demographic. I don't know that women are more likely to answer the phone than men among the elderly. That used to be the case when women were more likely to be at home while husbands were working, but when you're dealing with retired individuals who are at home in equal proportions, the reason behind that tendency no longer holds true.

Its also been polled statistically that Millenials do answer the phone more than their older predecessors do.

I've yet to receive such a call.
